What we learned: Chargers at Seahawks (preseason Week 2)

August 15, 2014

Seattle’s No. 1 offense couldn’t have kicked off the game any better, scoring on their first four possessions en route to a 24-0 lead.

The Seahawks moved the ball in every way imaginable. Robert Turbin reeled off a 47-yard run, Zach Miller hauled in a 37-yard reception from Russell Wilson -- who also picked up chunks of yardage on the ground -- and Percy Harvin caught four passes. In total, the Hawks outgained the Chargers 260 yards to 122 in the first half.

Perhaps the most encouraging development was the play of the offensive line, still without starters Russell Okung and Max Unger. Tackle Alvin Bailey and guard James Carpenter pushed the Bolts’ defensive line off the ball and opened up holes in the running game. And while rookie right tackle Justin Britt showed some of his growing pains in pass protection, he was impressive in the run game.
